Dow drops to 23,553.22 as T-rumpers stay quiet


The DOW tumbled 1,500 points today, entering what economists call 'bear territory' as it closed at 23.553. The blame is on the oil price war, and the Coronavirus pandemic.

Oh, please! Like this is Trump’s fault! This could occur during any administration...Democratic included such as Obama’s. The virus is playing havoc on the economy...not the fault of anyone...except maybe China.

reply

It's not the coronavirus itself causing the Stock Market to fall but instead it's Trump's mishandling of the crisis affecting our country and his complete lack of knowledge on the coronavirus while Americans are dying. Sure, the coronavirus could have happened to any administration but it happened to Trump and he dropped the ball. Trump is obviously uneducated and stupid.

reply

I have a feeling Trump is a wee bit more astute than you or me. He’s not uneducated and stupid. You don’t get to be where is on the totem pole by being stupid.

reply

If Trump was educated then why doesn't he release his college transcripts? If Trump is a billionaire then why doesn't he release his tax returns. Trump's ego is way too big for him not to release these documents if the contents showed him favor. These same documents Trump promised to release if he was elected. So Trump is stupid, uneducated and a liar. That's why so many stupid people love him because Trump is just like them.

reply

Forgive me, but I had to read your inane reply 3 times to try to understand why not releasing your tax returns makes you stupid and uneducated. I still don’t understand. It’s not mandatory to do so. IMO, some would say it’s quite smart. Tax returns are personal and I could give a rat’s patootie about someone’s tax returns. It didn’t matter to me if Obama had chose not to release his.

“Trump's ego is way too big for him not to release these documents if the contents showed him favor.”

Granted his ego is quite large, but that also doesn’t make him stupid. What if they did show him favor? He’s no different from any other wealthy person using loopholes. I’m sure the Kennedy’s used loopholes also. Trump may be a liar...aren’t most politicians? One of the most recent to fill our tv screens was slithering snake Schiff. He’ll get his due one day. You also seem to forget one of the biggest prevaricators who held office was Obama.

In closing I inquire again, why does a person have to be stupid and uneducated just because s/he doesn’t show her/his tax returns. 🤔Hmm?

reply

Believing that Trump is smart says a lot about your intelligence. Even before Trump's dementia became apparent he struggled with completing simple sentences and large words. Aren't you tired of making excuses for Trump's poor behavior?

reply

And there it is! The insult! Whenever someone differs with you in the least...the insult comes. I never make excuses for his poor behavior. In fact I personally do not care for him. But, putting aside your snarky reply, once again not releasing his tax returns does not make him stupid and uneducated. Truth be told you are coming across as not too bright yourself.

oops back up fredo...Trump wins.

reply

"If Trump was educated then why doesn't he release his college transcripts?"

I think you have too much faith in your country's education system. For most people, and especially for people who become billionaires, real education begins to occur after they leave school.

reply

The fact that you even think Trump is intelligent in the first place is a large part of the reason our country is in this toilet bowl of a mess right now.

reply

Surely, you jest. “Our country is in the toilet bowl of a mess right now”? Did you just wake up from a 100 year sleep? Could you be akin to Rip Van Winkle? Until the global virus thing hit our economy was the best it’s been in decades. The unknowns, especially global, can cause a dive in the economy. It’s not anyone’s fault except maybe the Chinese and their wet markets.

reply

If our economy was truly great the feds wouldn't have cut the interest rates.

If our economy was truly great we'd have more than just shit deadend Dairy Queen/warehouse/retail jobs popping up. Those of us who work a career for a living and make actual money depend on those career positions. I work in the steel industry. Trump has not helped us (more failed promises) at all, so don't sit there and talk to me about the economy doing great.

If our economy was doing great then our wages wouldn't be stagnant while prices rise in the grocery store.

If our economy was doing great then we wouldn't have 78% of the country living paycheck-to-paycheck.

If our economy was doing great then a large number of people wouldn't need to be working 2-3 jobs just to barely eek out a living.

You regurgitate your FOX/Breitbart talking points if it makes you feel better but those of us who live within the confines of reality see things for what they are.

reply

I don’t even know who Breitbart is. All my working life there have been people working 2-3 jobs. People living from paycheck to paycheck. It’s not something new. When the government began “The Great Society Program” more tax revenue was needed. So we paid more in taxes which meant smaller paychecks. The entitlement programs just kept building therefore more taxes were taken. Every time the government gave...it also took away. Nothing is free.

There was a time decades ago a man went to a job and had security for life. He was able to make a good enough living to permit his wife to be a homemaker. The women in my family took in ironing, babysitting, etc. But, the government continued to come up with more and more entitlements. As those grew so did our taxes. Eventually it forced women into the workforce in order to stay afloat. Well, those jobs held by the main breadwinner were no longer available. Men were competing with women.

Nafta came along which affected your industry...steel. It affected everything we use today. Where are the textile mills? Where is the electronics industry? Why did we start importing steel? We were a self-sufficient country...we produced everything we needed except maybe oil, which btw we are now doing.

I picked up a bottle of orange juice recently and noticed the oranges came from Brazil. Why in the hell are we importing oranges from Brazil when we produce oranges in this country? I put the bottle back and chose a higher priced one, but it was made only with Florida oranges. It infuriates me to have to purchase produce from another country. It infuriates me when every article of clothing I purchase is made overseas.

What is frightening is the fact we couldn’t win another great war. Why? Because the parts needed for planes are made overseas! There’s part of your steel industry.

Now it’s up to Trump and advisors to ward off a recession. He has to get money flowing again. He’s talking eliminating the payroll tax (FICA).

reply

Trump's mishandling? It's truly an auspicious day when dogdump appears more objective than somebody else. Then again, you're not much of a hurdle to jump over. Tell me how he mishandled the situation and how that would've affected the stock market differently.

reply

You are just another liberal cheering for the stock market to fail because you wanted to make Trump look bad.

The coronavirus started in China and his spread to Italy and other countries. The u.s. is in good shape comparatively to other countries. Stock market going down is all about the global effect of coronavirus and Trump is not president of the world.

We wouldn't have the coronavirus if people in China would stop being Savages and eating live bats and dogs for dinner

reply

It's not the coronavirus itself causing the Stock Market to fall but instead it's Trump's mishandling of the crisis affecting our country and his complete lack of knowledge on the coronavirus while Americans are dying.


You’re so wrong it’s funny. YES, it is the Coronavirus itself. 1 million percent YES it is...all of these things are happening because of a pandemic. How brainwashed or brain dead are some of you??? This is unreal.

The depth some people are willing to delve into nasty politics is astounding to me. It doesn’t matter whether Trump, Obama, Clinton, Sanders, Biden, Bush, JFK, Nixon, FDR, Lincoln, or Washington was President during this, the same Goddamn thing would have happened. Some of you are COMPLETELY off your rockers, using a global pandemic to take political shots at this guy.

Just so you know, the WORLD’S economy is tanking because of this, so are you bashing the hell out of other world leaders too? Or just this one because you don’t like him?

Yes, there were some things I feel he could have done better, and I always feel he could act more professional, but honestly, there was no way to prevent this from happening, NO WAY! I think people brought this over from China as soon as the outbreak started. I think the virus has been here for quite a while now before anyone even realized. The way people travel in the world, it was impossible to stop this from happening.

The main point is, the virus is the reason the economy is struggling, and the reason for unemployment, and the reason people are dying.

The stock market, the economy...they were doing REALLY well (remember, every person who hates Trump was saying it was Obama who caused this success), then the virus hits, and it goes to hell. So what variable entered the equation when the stock market/economy took the hit? What changed??? Oh yeah, it was the VIRUS.

I’m so amazed by the stupidity of some people that I can’t believe humans aren’t extinct yet.

Oh, please! Like this is Trump’s fault!

You guys sure are quick to praise him whenever the stocks soar but, as soon as they dip, suddenly it's everyone's fault BUT Trump's. You Trump cultists are joke I'm damn sick of.

reply

You non-???...sorry, can’t think of a word to describe someone devoid of thought. 🤔 I am happy though we are making you happy...we being a joke. 🤗 Let me ‘splain if I can. Before the virus all was good. It was due to Trump’s policies so naturally we were pleased. People working, less food stamps, less welfare, that “get out of prison” thing, etc, etc. Everything good for the economy makes for good stock market gains. No unknown to affect the market.

But, along comes this virus thingy which causes folks to cancel trips via cruise ships, planes, trains and automobiles, panic buying...in other words topsy turvy. People not working. All of this causes the stock market to dive due to the unknowns. So, 1 meg ohm from ear to ear, this is the reason it’s not Trump’s fault...he had no control over the virus. Just like 9/11 caused a tank. I do hope You understand a wee bit more how things work so you won’t get “damn sick.”

reply

Wow! 4 links! That's quite impressive for you. Even your chepooka is less biased than normal. I actually see an effort to being more objective.

As Trey Gowdy would say, "See. That wasn't so tough." I give you credit in creating a post with links that back up your argument without any added vitriol and keeping your juvenile insults to a minimum. Now, let us all hope this is the new you and not just a flash in the pan moment for you. 👍

reply

4 links and you have no idea what they say, because you are illiterate.

reply

Can't read two of them because I don't have a Fortune mag subscription. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

What did the other ones say? Nothing new. Same old stuff about the coronavirus and and unsure timetable. All of these things factors are a normal reaction to an unknown situation. Everybody still contributing to their 401Ks are getting a discount on their contributions right now. That's a good thing, yet all you care about is the numbers going down.

Apparently, it only last 1 hour before you reverted back to indoctrinated dunce. Oh well. What else is new, yes? Still nothing. Once again, I gave you too much credit. 🤪🤪🤪

reply

The FORTUNE subscription is less than $1. Less than a $1! You can't afford it to read the articles ? WTF? What happened to your stock market gains ?

The economy is the best it's ever been (says you T-rumpanzees). Why can't you afford something below a dollar ? Ask mom for an advance on your weekly allowance. Tell her the economy is booming and the stock market is at it's best ever!

reply

I don't have a Fortune subscription. Do you? I don't have a WaPo subscription either. Do you? I don't have a Cook's Illustrated subscription either. Do you?

What the hell does my stock market gains have anything to do with getting a subscription to a magazine? I know you're stupid, but damn.

It's not about afford, it's about choice. I choose not to subscribe because I don't deem the value worth it. Duuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......Once again, I've given you too much credit. As Marty McFly's grandfather said, "You're an idiot. Parent's are probably idiots too." 🤪🤪🤪

reply

I don't have a Fortune subscription.


I know you don't - that's why I suggested you ask Mom for an advance on your allowance so you can afford one for less than a dollar. You're obviously struggling financially - more than obvious.

Again, comprehension is not your friend, is it ?

reply

I love being taken out of context. Ignorance proven. You would've understood had your attention span been more than 2 seconds. Is that why you don't read Alice the Fairy? Is that why you don't post links? You can only read the headlines and nothing more, yes? That would explain a lot, yes? Crash test dummy. It doesn't take very much brains for that job. Nice choice, dogdump! 🤪🤪🤪

Best post ever!

I love when the stock market does well and throw all the credit to T-rump. As soon as it tanks they ask why we have to politicize it? Such idiots.

reply

LOL! Funny enough...this isn't really an exaggeration. AT ALL. This is a summation of every twisted thing I've read a Trumper say here or there over the past three years. YES, some even said: "Trump for Dictator" and "Trump FOREVER". The only one I embellished was "Most attractive man on the planet" and even THAT one is a play on the fact that several female Trumpers called him attractive in 2016. I still remember people laughing at them and saying: "You must have some real ugly men at your trailer park if you think Donald Trump is attractive. One of them had even said: "He has this attractive aura about him and I can't quite explain what it is". XD

Damn, even the arguments are pulled straight from real arguments Trumpers make all the time with their Obama/Hillary deflections and the way they just chant "Trump 2020" and "MAGA" as if they're some magical phrases that will insulate Trump and their cause.

So, sadly...I'm not really exaggerating much at all with that list. Wish I was.
